      Software Engineer I Interview

      27 July 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in May 2022

      Interview

      I have read a lot of reviews, and most of the people seem to have a positive experience, so maybe I just got unlucky. It was so bad that it was funny. First, the interviewer was late, then he asked me a single question about what current projects am I working on, after I gave him a pretty lengthy answer, without any follow-up questions or anything else he said: "anyway let's move on to the coding part". Then we went onto hacker rank and he gave me a problem, I asked him if I can do it in Python, and he said "sure" and then tried switching the language on the page from C++ to Python, in the span of ten minutes he could not figure out how to do that, so I said it's okay I can solve it in C++, he then told me no and told me to solve the problem in Python using the C++ IDE. So with a lot of time lost I started to attempt to solve it in Python where everything I was typing was getting autocorrected into the C++ grammar. I was talking to him about my thoughts and how to solve the problem but he completely muted his mic, wasn't listening, and was talking to someone else. When I asked him questions he would not reply. I struggled for about 30 minutes and then he told me that the interview is over and I should have solved it in C++ and not Python. I was literally crying from laughter. I think I just got very unlucky.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1) What Projects are you working on? 2) Write a class that takes in stocks attached to stock values. Then store those stocks and sort them according to those stock values, if the same stock with value is added to the class, then increment that stock's value by the new value that is getting added.
